The brain's moral navigator: Unveiling utilitarian welfare decisions in complex social interactions.
The brain's ventromedial prefrontal cortex compares diverse preferences for utilitarian welfare decisions.
How do you make a choice that will benefit the greatest number of people when there are conflicting preferences involved? How does the brain make sense of differing perspectives and organize them to make a decision? In a study recently published in JNeurosci, researchers from Ludwig Maximilian University and the University of Zurich explore theintricacies of utilitarian welfare decisions.
The hippocampus is involved in storing and retrieving memories and knowledge relevant to the decision-making process. It provides initial information to the prefrontal cortex based on sensory inputs and past experiences. The first task is an individual task where participants choose their preference between different quantities of A and B, depicted by the number of blue or red squares. In the preference learning task, participants predict the choices of two other participants, or agents. If the prediction is correct, +10 appears whereas if the prediction is wrong, -10 appears.
